On November 1, 1954, when Algeria was still under French colonial rule, members of the pro-independence FLN carried out a series of attacks throughout the country. This date has come to be known as the beginning of the Algerian War. In France at that time there was no talk of war; only attacks attributed to agitators and bandits. But in reality, it was the beginning of a long conflict that would lead to Algeria's independence in 1962. In the wake of the loss of colonial Indochina, France never imagined that Algeria, home to almost a million Europeans, had begun its march towards independence. Karim Yahiaoui, Nessrine Benzebbouchi and Lauren Bain from FRANCE 24 review this essential date in colonial and Algerian history.
